solas and felassan commission for @evilbunnyking, thank you!

I've finished my Dragon Age elvish/elven/elvhen/el'vhen dictionary. And 99% of it is posted. I just need to clean up the primer and post that.

I have a linguistics minor and broke el'vhen down into its component parts. It started as just a list for me, but took on a life of its own.

Anyway. Hopefully, this will give us more words and tools to work with.

Just finished my Veilguard poster to match the Inquisition one I made a while ago!! I love it!!

Wanted the swirls to be sort of akin to Blight Stuff™ and man, were they weirdly cathartic to paint. Love playing with the negative space with these, idk it's just fun. Highly recommend just like makin' stuff in these trying times.

(also this is available in my print shop ;__;)

You get trapped with two Dragon Age characters (spin the wheel) in one room for a day.

cole’s relationship with pretty much any companion is depressing - that’s the whole purpose of him, to serve as a mouthpiece for the pain of the others - but i think vivienne might be the saddest one because i don’t think it’s solely about his role as a narrative device.

on a literal level, cole is digging up the darkest parts of vivienne’s psyche and examining them in front of anyone who happens to be around; as someone who abhors any public show of weakness, vivienne is going to be bothered by this. but there’s more than a few lines that imply she’s secretly protective of cole, and that her open displays of hatred are a front.

Cole: No. You were worried. The part of you that forgets I'm me cared. You want it to go away.

one of vivienne’s worst memories is her harrowing, a trauma that defined how she thinks about privacy, magic, control, and essentially, the rest of her life. cole might be a spirit, but he’s physically indistinguishable from a young mage boy, about the same age vivienne was when she was harrowed. i think looking at him reminds her of that experience, even when he’s not trying to do so, and i think cole in general reminds her of herself. she’s not responding to him as a backstory conduit, but as a person.

neither of them get to be alone in their heads. both of them are torn between their desire to do good and the lurking specter of despair, the fear that no matter how hardworking or strong they are, their best efforts to help are only palliative. vivienne is a traumatized incrementalist with quiet doubts about her methods, and cole is a spirit of compassion who looks like a mage kid. he hurts her just by existing.

Magister

[wyvernscales]

How long do we think it took Dorian ‘not every Tevinter mage is a Magister’ Pavus to stop correcting people when he took his father’s seat in the Magisterium? Do we think he set something on fire when he realized he became the very thing he spent years telling others he’s not????

Rook will obliterate every barrel and crate he finds like any graceful and sublime assassin should. He is truly the pride of Antiva.

And Viago is at his limit.
